-&? -as &r fe?!SB'THE WASHINGTON TIMES; THURSDAY; MAY 8;-1917.STRIKERS SAY KINGDECEIVED THE UNIONAsk Senate Committee to HastenThe Taking of Evidence.Bebuttlng the reply of the Washington Railway and Electric Companyto their charges flled with the Senatecommitter Investigating the strike,the employes In a statement flled withthe Senate committee today, allegethat the company's answer "containa great mass of manufactured exhibitsand Irrelevant, Incompetent, and Immaterial matter."The charges of bad faith againstClarence P. King, president of thecompany, are reiterated, and furtheremphasis is given the original allegetlons by the strikers in the documentfiled with Senator PIttman. chairmanpro tern, of the probing committee.The strikers' statement in rebuttalformally Joins Issue between the company and themselves. After consideringthe. original charges, the company's reply and the statement in rebuttal, thecommittee will define what It considersthe basic points of the controversy andwill begin to take testimony.Ask Earl 7 Hearing.A remipftt fnr an earlv befflning of theInquiry was made by the strikers today jIn the following paragraph in theiratatement In rebuttal:"We respectfully ask your committeefor an early opportunity to present ourevidence because the company is trying.by delay and every form of deception,public and private, to exhaust the resources of our members and to compelthem to return to work by signing theIndividual contract"The strikers allege in their statement of rebuttal that the company.In Its answer, attempted to make Itappear that the wrecking of a car in Isoumeasi wasninjjiou tumumMwfifteen separate and distinct cases ofviolence on the part of the employes.The following significant paragraphis Included In the strikers' reference to the wrecking of the car:"It seems rather remarkable thata. former employe of the companywho had been discharged, and wasnot able to secure employment untilafter his participation In the act complained of by the company (wreckingof the car) was employed by the company the next day.Denial that the officers of the localunion or the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric HallwayEmployes ever counseled violence ismade by the employes. The statement reiterates thav on the contraryviolence has been most strongly condemned. Refer to Police Records."We think the police force will acknowledge our co-operation and helpIn trying to secure the maintenanceof law and order during this strike,"cay the employes.They assert that Police Court records show that none of the strikershai been convicted of any more serious offense than disorderly conductsince the strike began.After charging the company withusing "skillful, adroit, and crafty language" In Its reply, the statement inrebuttal contains the following relative to the alleged promise of President King to deal with a committeerepresenting the union and his sul.sequent refusal to do so:Notwithstanding the fact that theoriginal communication of the committee, which has always had fullauthority In the premises, suggestedan agreement with the AmalgamatedAssociation, Mr. King made no rcmplalnt about it until after his deception of the committee concerning thinauguration and the desirability ofhaving no trouble while th city wasfilled with visitors from all over thecountry."At that time he was not acting Ingood faith, because he had alreadybegun to Import strike breakers."He was guilty of a gross breachof faith with the men when 'ie -us-KestedIn his letter of February "7that the ery thing which theyhad written him about would requirethe undivided attention of all parties directly Interested, as well as theentire tlm of a mediatorial board,"and suggesting that after the inauguration had passed he would beglad to take up the matter with the,committee, which had then suggestedto him an agreement with the Amalgamated Association."The strikers deny that they insisted on the closed shop, and refer thecommittee's attention to a letter tothe company offering to sign an openshop agreement.Charge Strike Waa Provoked."We rely for proof of the truth andaccuracy of all statements concerningall these things upon Secretary ofLabor Wilson, Commissioner of Conciliation Blackman. the Board of Commissioners of the District, the lettersthemselves, and the newspaper editorials condemning Mr. King for hisrefusal to do anything to avert thetrouble which arose," the statementays.The company's assertion that theIndividual contract was preparedwith a view of preventing a strike ismet by the statement that the company did everything it could do stirthe men up and provoke a strike.The strikers assert that they haveincontrovertible evidence to substantiate the allegation that manyemployes were discharged for refusing to sign the Individual contract. Concerning this subject the. statement says:"Jf Mr. King had the sghtet conception of his. duty to the public andnot the gratification pf his own selfish and arbitrary desire to attemptto destroy the union: if he wanted tocontinue to give service to the public, there can be no doubt In themind of any citizen that he took theonly course which was liable to interrupt the public service by refusing to accede to the suggestionof the Secretary of 1-abor. Mr! Wilson. and the requests of the Board ofCommissioners and to accept thegood offices of both the Secretary andthe board."Coercion and intimidation of employes by members of the union Is denied. The relief association of thecompany Is referred to as "a snareand delusion." The strikers ask thatthe company be required to slmw Itsbooks to furnish evidence of its dealings with strike breaking and privatedetective agencies for the purpose ofbreaking the strike long before thestrike occurred.Accuse "Breakers" of Theft.Violence and disorder is alleged tohave occurred because of the Insulting attitude of the strike breakers,some of whom are referred to as'criminals and thugs" in the statementReferring: to the pay of the striktbreakers the statement says:i auute breakers who were being paid fancy prices to operate thecars to attempt to break the strike,and who, beslues that, were given alicense to steal the fares which theycollected, could very easily afford tosign an Individual agreement whichwould bind them only so long astheir valuable services were requiredhere Some of them made $10 and f 15n day. The company thought It worthwhile to allow them to steal thislarge amount In order to coerce Itsold and faithful employes Into signing away their individual liberty andtheir right of collective bargaining."The strikers say the WashingtonRailway and Electric Company Is theonly railway company In the countrywhich pays Its employes In full everynight, making the work a day-to-dayjob.AMERICAN GENIUSPRAISED BY LANEDeclares Chemists and GeologistsCan Cope With War Problems.The genius of the American peoplewill meet any problems that arisewith respect to the furnishing of mineral and chemical materials, the supply of which may be cut off. In theview of Secretary of the InteriorLane.Before war was declared, the Interior Department through the Bureau ofMines, prepared for the Information ofthe Council of National Defease a report on the natural, mineral resourcesof the United States. Marvelous asthese resources are, comprising two-fifths of the world's annual productionof coal, one-half the world's output ofcopper and nearly two-thirds of thoworlds annual supply of petroleum,no raw material, except coal, canserve a useful purpose in war untilcombined with, or refined by, othermetals or chemicals.The Mineral Situation.When asked about the mineral situation. Secretary of the Interior Lanasaid:"In war time a new point of viewmust be had" In order to grasp tho situation. The gnat production of goldand silver In the United States exceptfrom the financial point of view, liunimportant. But the 5,000 ounces ofplatinum now reclaimed at the Government mints will make, by the 'contact' process, hundreds of thousandsof pounds of concentrated sulphuricacid, which can all go into high combustlble explosives."Let us begin with explosives.bpeaklng broadly, concentrated sulphuric acid, the famous IlSOt of college memory, and nitric acid, are thetwo chief and vital elements necessaryIn explosive manufacture. We shallneed about 0,000.000 tons of sulphuricacid this year. This acid Is not apleasant thing to transport, so inpeace times it Is generally used closeto Its point of production. Its use istwo-fold: The low grade acid goeslargely into the production of phosphates for agricultural fertilizer because It will 'burn the phosphate oafof phosphate rock. We hav twogreat natural beds of sulphur, butthey are In the extreme southern rartof the United States, with the resultths,t in peace times we ordinarily Import about 1.000,000 tons of inn prUes containing about -15 per cent ofsulphur and roast It out.IVItraatc From Air."Nitric acid, made from nitrates,is the other necessary basic materialfrom which high explosives aremade. The United States containspractically no nitrates, nor does anyo-Jier country except Chile. FromChile we Import in peace times about500,000 tons a year, of which about1 Oper cent Is used for fertilizer andtO per cent for explosives. But theatmosnhere around us contains nitrogen In limitless quantities, andCongress has voted 20,000,000 forthe construction of a plant for itsfixation."With regard to the metals, theUnited States has ample quantities ofIron ores from which to make steelguns and shells for the army andthe navy, but soft ores do not makea hard steel without the addition ofvarious alloys and oxidizers. Forexample, the Iron ores from theGreat Lakes district, and from Alabama as well, contain so much sulphur that If the sulphur were notremoved the steel would be flaky,brittle, and unserviceable. Thereforetho 'open hearth' method of manufacturing was Invented, but thismethod requires the use of greatquantities of manganese. We havelarge deposits of manganese, but thequality is so low that in peace timeswe ordinarily Import nearly 00 percent of the manganese which we use."What would happen if our Importsof manganero were shut off? Afterour reservi supplies were exhaustd, weshould ha to find a substitute, andthere is no question about our beingable to do so. The substitute wouldat first cost more than Importedmanganese, but we would have thesteel.Metal Substitutes."The situation as regards manganese, though extreme. Is generallysimilar to that of the other principalalloys. Including those of tungsten,chromium, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium, and uranium. Ofsome of these we have more thanothers, bu tresearch and experimentall tend to show that various combinations can be made as substitutesfor any one of them."The chemists and geologists ofthe United States are already mobilized. Every important laboratory Inthe United States has been madeavailable for Investigation undergovernment direction. Surely thegenius of the American people willbe equal to the present emer ;ency."714 PLANES LOST In" APRILMore Than Double Previous Month'sLosses."LONDON.

Marshal Joffre shook handswith her; M. Vlvlanl, to the Intensepleasure of the House again expressed In cheers kissed her hand.House Takes n Recess.It was necessary for the House :otake a "recess" to receive the distinguished French envoys. The rulesof the lower branch of Congressspecifically prohibit admission to thefloors during a session of any personnot by law entitled to admission. Sostrict are this rule and the precedentsthereunder that the Speaker of theHouse Is not permitted even to put aunanimous consent request that therule be abrogated, nor Is any motionIn order to set It aside.From time to time In the past theHouse has received distinguished visltors but always the House wastechnically in recess. This procedurewas followed several years ago, whenthe speaker of the Hungarian assembly was a visitor and addressedthe members of the bouse.It Is not required that the proceedings shall be officially reportedby the House stenotrraDhers. butordinarily the Record carries a statement of what occurred "during recess."Cards of admission to the gallerieswere again required today. Hundreds of disappointed visitors cameto the House wing only to find placards at the doors reading:"Admission to the galleries todayDy card only."Blk Demand For Tickets.This restriction kept out comparatively all except the families of members, the tickets being distributedamong tho members of the lowerchamber.The lower passageways of 'the Capitol were lined with men, women, anda few children who,had to be contentwith catching a glimpse of the members of the French commission asthey entered the building. Outsidethe doors stood others who awaited thearrival of the French envoys. Theparking places about the House wingwere jammed with automobiles. TheHouse met at II o'clock, but some ofthe families of the members arrivedlong before that hour in order to obtain choice seats.There was the usual scrambleamong members for cards of admission, the supply not meeting the demands of some of the legislators whoendeavored to beg or borrow an addltlonal ticket from a colleague. Thescenes about the House, despite thecomparatively short notice concernlng the visit of the envoys, weresimilar to those which have attendedthe various visits of the President tothe Capitol.Envoys to Leave for West.To carry the war spirit Into theMiddle West and arouse the peoplethere, the French commission, headedby M.

Important asthese conferences are, however, it isbelieved by members of the missionthat the question of arousing thepeople of the Middle West and exhorting the entire nation to be aliveand doing Is of even greater urgency.Seek to Arouse Teople.The envoys have been amazed bythe placidity and complacency of theAmerican people. They believeAmericans have lulled themselves Intoa false security. It Is for the purpose of bringing the war closer to thepeople of the Middle West and impressing upon them the gravity ofthe situation that th tHn which begins today was arranged.All the members of the commissionconceive It to be their duty to disseminate as much Information aspossible concerning actual war conditions and Germany's methods ofw-srfare.

May 3. Bl'.ly Sundaywas host In his turtle backed tabernaclelast night to 5,000 of the InterboroughRapid Transit employes, and since theycame as his personally Invited guestshe had them nicely fixed out In the bestchairs In the postless section In the center. But not to be outdone by Billy'sgenerosity, the Interborough whichBilly seems bound always to call Interurban brought along its own band.all decked out In spick and span whiteduck, and a group of khaki clad soldierboys who had served on the border. Andthen there were flags and escorts altogether quite a party.The transportation people even carrieda speaker with them, but In Justice toeverybody concerned It might be Justas well to say that he didn't spend histhree minutes on boosting the Interborough, but In training the spotlight onBilly and his work. And the 5.000 ticketpunchers and the rest of the 15.000 tuckedIn the sides and corners showed theirapproval by an almost constant Interrupting applause,"I was the first Billy Sunday rooterIn this burg." the speaker. 8. D. 8mlth.superintendent of the system, said whenhe had been Introduced at the beginningof the meeting. "And this Is the happiest moment of my life to stand hereand see that the Sunday bee that stungme Is Inoculating all New York. lt'sthe twentieth century prophet of Godend he'll show you the way if you'll give Ihim a chance."Billy Blushes Like a Boy.Billy stood at the other side of thepulpit, first on one foot and then onthe other, tongue in cheek, blushingand looking for all the world like abashful boy whoie mother waa describing to a visitor what a nice littlefellow be was. After all, Billy Is nothing if not a very human person wholaughs at his own Jokes and letstears slip Into his eyes when he tellshis sob stories, and gets peeved andlooks daggers when some one coughsand then confesses that he's sorryhe has such a hair trigger temper.A half dozen times last night somelarge darkey sister Injected a flash ofthe old fashioned camp meeting flavorInto the service. About the time Billywould be smiting the devil with bothfists a great booming "Hallelujah Vwith a strong accent would come floatlng from away back one side. NowBilly rather favors plain Northern"Amens" when applied at the propertime and In the proper places, butthere's nothing In his plan of campaign that calls for any unattachedSouthern "Hallelujahs." So Billyfinally stopped. let one of his famousSunday smiles spread across his face.ana looking over toward the rejoicing one remarked: "Sister, If youdon't mind I'll do all tho talking. NowI hope you won't mind."The special Invitation Incorporatedin uuiy-s prayer to the Interboroughdelegation to hit the sawdust trailbrought several hundred of the menforward. The soldier boys who hadbeen down on the border had frontseats and won the honor of first taking his hand, but a score or moreof the bandmen and other employesfollowed quickly. In all 1,432 wentforward last night, making with theM4 converts of the afternoon a totalof 1,800 for the two services. The441 trail hitters established a newrecord for weekday afternoons andIs especially noteworthy when It isconsidered that there were less than4,000 people at the service.Sermon On "Repentance."Today thirty prominent businessmen of Atlanta will arrive In NewYork to complete arrangements forthe Sunday campaign which will openthere In November of this year. Thedelegation will attend tho Tabernaclemeetings until Sunday, when theywill return to Atlanta.Billy spoke In the eyenlng on "Repentance." choosing as his text II.Samuel, xll., 13: "And David saidunto Nathan, 'I have sinned againstthe Lord ' And Nathan said untoDavid, The Lord also hath put awaythy sin: thou shall not die.'"I'd rather be a heathen In darkestAfrica worshiping a atone Idol than aman or woman In New York whopasses up all the golden opportunitiesto be a Christian," Billy said. "Andlet me tell you people that anybody'sa heathen who doesn't believe in Godand It doesn't make a snap of difference whether he lives In the SouthSea Isles or on Riverside Drive. AndI'll bet some of you old fellows downthere are heathens even If you arepresidents of banks."People today In New York are worsesinners than they were 1000 yearsago, Billy contended, because theyhave more re'lglous light today thanthey had then. "God never put asinner In hell without first sendinga preacher to try to keep him out.-Got It Doped Out Wrong.I know men hero In New Yorkwho are afraid to come here and putthemselves under the Influence andspirit of God that permeates this tabernacle because they fear they mightpermit the devil to break his hold onthem and as a consequence do one decent thing before they die. They say.Billy's vulrar and crude.' No, yougot It doped out wrong, bud you'rerotten."According to Billy, repentance Is achange of mind that leads to a changeSTOMACH UPSET?Get at the Real Cause Take Dr.Edwards' Olive Tablets IThat's what thousands of stomachsufferers are doing now.

There are lots of people In hellwho have been baptized and confirmed; that doesn't do any good unlessyou're born again."In the morning Billy addressed several hundred students in the chapelat New York University on "Enlistingfor the War." Aggressive work forGod and country furnished his theme,his remarks being much In line withhis recent advocacy of a command InFrance for Colonel Roosevelt.In the afternoon the militant evangelist preached to an enthusiastic audlence of about 4,000 on "Opportunityand Responsibility,"; taking for histext St. Luke C, vl, "Jesus went Intothe synagogue on a Sabbath day andHe found there a man with a witheredhand."VICTIMS OF ACCIDENTSRED CROSS PATIENTSSociety Women to Get Experieeceby Giving Them First Aid.Washington society women whohave volunteered for Red Cross workwill be given an opportunity for practical experience in coring for thewounded.Plans were under consideration today for the society women to accompany surgeons on the Emergency Hospital ambulance on hurry calls andto assist In first aid work here. Ithas been suggested that the womenpurchase an ambulance to be stationed at Emergency Hospital and use Itthemselves In responding to calls.The women welcome the Idea ofseeing practical service as nursesand believe their experience atEmergency Hospital would be of Infinitely more benefit than any theoretical training they could receive.The women Interested Include Mrs.Nicholas Longworth. daughter ofColonel Roosevelt; Mrs. Augustus P.Gardner, Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry,Mrs. Blaine Beale, Mrs. E.

In1915 the death toll of children In asingle Gallclan concentration campwas 3.700. and this year the death listwill be longer because of the fiercefighting now in progress which keepsthe .destitute peasant noncombatantsever op the move and out of reachof the few relief organizations there.The outbreak of the rur caught theCardexas on their hunting estate nearthe Russian-Austrian border, andwhen Ambassador Penfleld asked forvolunteer workers to help him. Mrs.Cardeza, a Titanic survivor and afellow of the Royal Geographical 8orclety, was assigned to the post of"unofficial secretary! to the embassyat Vienna. While her husband wasthus doing his bit. Mrs. Cardeza wentto the eastern front as a nurse. Shewas detailed to a surgical war groupconsisting of eight doctors, fifteennurses and orderlies, and equipmentsufficient to care for 100 wounded.Oa Firing Lines.With them she traveled back to thefiring lines of most of the battlesfought in Gallcla. Often, she said,the unit would scarcely be set up Inplace before the tide of battle wouldsweep back the troops In front, andevery one would .have to. retreat. Theconcentration camps Jor .children andwomen were established' In this samemanner, so as to be near the militaryfood distribution centers, and whena retreat took place the entire population of the camp was scattered. Tothis almost ceaseless migration Mrs.Cardeza attributed the wholesale starvation, disruption of families, andcommunication of 'contagious disease.She was confident that the Austriangovernment was doing all in Its power to assuage the suffering of Itspeople, but until the stability of thecamps could be established therecould be no relief for the .children."Eighty thousand helpless, desertedchildren are starving- In Poland today," said Mrs. Cardeza, "children whohave become separated from theirparents In the confusion. In a fewcases, these helpless'cblldren are being cared for In the Impoverishedfamllle of other peasants, but In mostcases they are herded together withmany thousands -of adult peasants InRussian and Austrian concentrationcamps."I know that they have received nocare at all, and their death by starvation, disease and exposure Is only amatter of a few months. Originally thefamilies of these deserted childrenlived on their own small farms on theRussian-Austrian border. When warcame uie lamiri were called to we.colors, but their mothers continuedto operate their little patches of landuntil the military authorities orderedthem to leave their homes, becausea battle was expected in that particular section.AU Horses Confiscated."All beasts of burden had longsince been confiscated by the soldiers,and a dilapidated cart, piled highwith household goods with the babyperched atop and drawn by themother and perhaps the older children, was a common sight. Mothersand children became war vagabonds,'and, through the utter helplessnessof their condition, many women became brutalized."Infanticide, she added, was frequent, while for a woman to leaveGtit TJwf iktri staff Nuxetti Im)acts llit viatic It ctrtelnlj putt tkglnitr tfjtuth fa's a mas.with Nuxated Iron, I feel It Is sucha valuable remedy that It should, bekept In every hospital and prescribedby every physician In this country."Nnxatfd Iron, recoaaxnended aboveby Dr. Jnmes, la for sale by Jas.O'Donnell Drug Stores.
